My Prediction
Sherif in 3 sets.Quick glance at our lineup folks – she's not just an average Sherif, she's Mayar Sherif, the tourney’s seventh seed. While on another side of the court you see Arantxa Rus, a gal who can swing a racket, but alas bears no seed here. Recent history hasn't been kind to either of these ladies, but that's tennis - it’ll break your heart faster than a teen romance.
Ms. Rus has split aces and errors recently, dealing some quick blows in the form of straight-set victories over Wang Xiy. and Abbagnato A., but unfortunately took a few gut punches herself against Volynets K. and Masarova R. recently. Cruel mistress that tennis is, she even had to swallow a tough one-set defeat against Pegula J. Looks like she's taking a nocturne on an emotional seesaw.
Our Sherif hasn’t had a cakewalk either, with some hefty losses stamped on her recent match passport. It seems like every time you turn around, someone else is outdueling her in a straight-set extravaganza - Bouzková M. and Bouzas Maneiro J. to name some recent heartbreakers. But don't forget, she had a moment in the sun, showing Sun L. who was boss with a hard-fought three-set victory.
The round of 32 at the Grand Prix SAR La Princesse Lalla Meryem is not a place for gentle love somersaults. No, this is where we separate the wheat from the chaff, the ace from the double fault, the Sherif from the pedalers of small court justice. She is a seed for a reason, folks.
Albert’s Prediction: Sherif in 3 sets.
